[From the Diaries. -Matt]

First impressions

Lu really does look like he bulked up
Thabo's cornrows freak me out a bit
Andres looks like he just got out of the shower
Victor does not look like a basketball player at all
Joe Smith looks really good in a Bulls jersey
Noah ... well, just looks like Noah
And of course, the headband

If anything it's a nice way to find 'true' heights

Relatively, anyway. For one, Tyrus looks at an inch taller than Ben Wallace.

It also works for Gordon and Hinrich

You can visually see that there is only the 1 inch difference in their heights. I was surprised how similar they were in size, now that Kirk has bulked up some.

I noticed in rewatching a Bulls/Miami game that Tyrus is also clearly taller than Deng as well.

I would

have really liked to see Joakim's height compared to someone like Wallace or Thomas

Last year

I remember the news coming out of Florida that despite the fact that Joakim was listed at 6-11, he was actually a legit 7-0, but didn't want his height listed as such because 7-footers are "freaks."

Veektor looks

like he's just coming down from the high of playing an integral part in winning the FIBA Europe tournament, and is ready to take on the challenge of the NBA season. Shame.

eh, just another year, another $1.9m

and he can go back to Euroball full time.

those are the new ones?

those are pretty hot. I'll probably get me some of those.

His sneakers are cool I got myself a red and black pair. The pictures look tight. Joe Smith looks ready to go to war. I am so excited for this season. I will get my late birthday present when we go up for a game in Chicago and I am going to go to a couple in Orlando. Ah these are getting me all excited.

I have a pair of the black and red ones

I read in

an article that Pax said Lu and Kirk had both bulked up and it does look like they have. Hopefully Kirk not playing for Team USA this summer will help him this season.

Big Ben

is a freaking monster. When I met him at a promotion for his shoe I was in awe of the sheer size of these guy. He took up 3/4 of the table and was all muscle.

Tyrus

Interesting pose. Anyone else feel the crazy just oozing out of him?

Get that out of Tyrus' House!!!!

by cubbybear on Oct 2, 2007 2:18 PM CDT reply actions

I know that pose

That's the "you take one more picture of me and I just might smack you" pose. A classic.

Score. Or do not score. There is no clutch.

Big Ben

Is it just me but is Ben Wallace just incapable of smiling? Frankly he looks mean. I wouldn't want be attacking the Bulls paint this season just n the account of him looking so mean.
